Quantum Control

Recent advances in ultrafast laser and optical pulse shaping techniques have brought the use of shaped pulses of optical frequency for the manipulation of quantum systems. This field, known as quantum control, though being started as a theoretical exercise, has rapidly become an experimental reality in a vast variety of materials extending from atoms and molecules to condensed matter and biological materials. latest results

Ultra-cold Molecular Quantum Computing

Quantum computing seeks to write, process, and read information on quantum level. We envision that the phase evolution of vibration wave-packets of ultra-cold diatomic molecules captured in magneto optical trap computes quantum algorithms. latest results

Terahertz Optics

Terahertz science and technology has attracted much interest because of its many up-and-coming applications in communication, material characterization, and imaging. The left figure shows our latest invention of THz coherent optical computation imaging. latest results
